I'll go first...
My favorite Fediverse platforms as of 2024
-
Mastodon - my main social feed platform that first introduced me to the Fediverse in general.
-
Lemmy - my second main social feed platform that originally substituted Reddit from years ago.
-
Matrix protocol - communication platform I use to connect with users on the Lemmy instance I'm on
-
Peertube - would love to get an account going and use it more often but still don't know how but there's FediVideo.
-
Bookwyrm - Goodreads alternative that I signed up for that could use more work for a genuine reading tracker.
BONUS: my least favorite Fediverse platform lately
WordPress - because I used to run art blogs on there before I heard word about drama about the CEO of the corporation so I basically had to put out my last existing art blog...RIP.
It doesn't really help for me, but the beauty of the fediverse is that it doesn't have to. You can like PieFed, I can prefer Lemmy and we can both still talk :)
Absolutely π―!
And truth be told, we don't know what the future holds as well. As moderation tools improve on Lemmy.World, as communities evolve, and new concepts rise to the foreground e.g. PieFed, and also Sublinks, both on top of Mbin too.
A year ago I thought one way about e.g. communities located on Lemmy.ml, then time passed and I changed my mind. Then technology changed and I switched instances to follow.
What I am saying is: it is so fantastic to have choices! βΊοΈ THAT is the real win in this situation, IMHO, whether I end up liking PieFed's approach or not. π
Yea it's cool. Although, regarding sublinks, it really looks like the project has stalled.
Yeah, no updates announced for several months, that's not a great sign. I haven't checked their codebase pages to find out why. Wasn't January 2025 supposed to be a huge deadline for them?
